Proxmox - Schedule twice a day, 7pm and 12pm

Another +1

We'd like to run mid-day incremental backups on our Proxmox VE servers, but the GUI scheduler doesn't allow scheduling backups multiple times per day (eg. 7pm & 12n).
Being able to fire-off the incremental backup job via a Powershell scheduled task would be a nice work-around.

Hi Andrew,

You can do that with a periodic schedule.
With a 12-hour interval, the backup would run at 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
That’s not exactly the required 7:00 PM, but it still gives you two backups per day.

Best,
Fabian

Hi Andrew,

I split your request from the PowerShell topic.

We plan to introduce a "Backup Window" for periodic Proxmox job schedules in our summer release.
With this, it may be possible to configure a periodic 12-hour job that runs at 12:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

Best,
Fabian
